1. INTERVALS NOTES This LO has been revised to comply with DA programming to extend intervals and conserve lubricants. When practicable, lubrication services will be made to coincide with the vehicle S Preventive Maintenance Service. For this purpose, a 10% tolerance (variation) in specified lubrication point mileage is permissible. Those vehicles not accumulating 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) in a 6 month period will be lubricated at time of Preventive Maintenance Service. 2. AIR CLEANERS AND BREATHERS (OIL BATH TYPES) WARNING NBC contaminated filters must be handled using adequate precaution (FM 21-40) and must be disposed of by trained personnel. The oil contained in the reservoir of oil bath type air filters will be taken to a segregation area and disposed of in accordance with TM 3-220. Every 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) or semiannually, whichever occurs first, clean oil reservoir and refill with. Disassemble and clean all parts. Refill with as above, whenever crankcase oil is changed. Far desert or extremely dusty operation, disassemble, clean all parts, and refill once every operating day or more frequently, if required. 3. CRANKCASE CAUTION Be sure pressure gage indicates oil is circulating. a. Gasoline. Drain every 6,000 miles (9,600 kilometers) or 6 months, whichever comes first. Drain only when hat after operation. Refill to full mark on gage. Run engine a few minutes and recheck oil level. For proper operation with heavy duty oil, engine thermostat must be functioning properly to maintain engine coolant temperature at 140 F (60 C) minimum. b. Multifuel or Diesel, Sample oil every 60 days or 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers). Army Reserve units will sample oil every 120 days or 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers). Oil will be changed only when directed by oil analysis laboratory. NOTE If oil analysis laboratory is not available, use the hard time of 6,000 miles (9,600 kilometers), 6 months or 600 engine hours, whichever occurs first. Do not hold oil samples. Submit oil samples as soon as they have been taken. Seasonal oil changes will be made due to expected temperatures. See the Chart on page 2. Drain only when hot after operation. To check engine oil level, wait one minute after stopping engine to allow oil to drain into crankcase. Safe operating range is between add and full marks. Do not overfill. TA 094148 LO 9-2320-211-12 PAGE 34 OF 38
NOTES (Cont d) 4. DISTRIBUTOR Every 6,000 miles (9,600 kilometers) or semiannually, whichever comes first, remove oil reservoir plug from lower housing and drain. Fill reservoir with, clean and install plug. Wipe breaker cam lightly with and lubricate breaker arm pivot and wick under rotor with 1 or 2 drops of. 5. OIL FILTER Drain oil filter on gasoline engines every 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) or 3 months, whichever occurs first. Multifuel or Diesel engine oil filters will be changed only when directed by oil analysis laboratory. If oil analysis laboratory is not available, use the hard time of 6,000 miles (9,600 kilometers), 6 months or 600 engine hours, whichever occurs first. Remove filter drain plug, drain oil and remove elements. Clean inside of filter housing and reinstall drain plug and new filter element and gasket, When filling crankcase, add two extra quarts (1.9 liters) of for each filter. 6. GEARCASES NOTE When a safe level of lubricant within a gear housing is indicated at time of scheduled lubrication, the lubricant retaining seal is functional even though the seal may indicate questionable leakage. Questionable leak that may indicate a defective seal will be subject to frequent observation as a potential problem area. When seepage or leakage of lubricant adversely affects the proper function of parts within the area (e.g. brakes), the retaining seal is non-functional regardless of lubricant level. Change gear lubricant only when required by maintenance repair action, or if contaminated by water or other foreign material. Semiannually, check lubricant for proper level and for contamination. Drain only when hot after operation. Remove, clean, inspect, and install magnetic plugs and strainer located at bottom of transfer case housing. At axle differentials, transfer case, transmission, and power divider (M62, M543, M543A1, M543A2), check that level is within 1/2 inch (1 2.7 millimeters) of filler plug opening when lubricant is cold, or to plug level when hot. Fill other gearcases to plug level at all times. Clean vents quarterly, and after operation in mud, snow, or water. For steering gear, fill until lubricant is one inch (25.4 millimeters) below filler plug or breather hole. 7. CARBURETOR VERNOR ROTOR SHAFT Every 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) or 6 months, whichever occurs first, remove plug and lubricate felt with several drops of. 8. 9. FRONT AXLE UNIVERSAL JOINTS AND STEERING KNUCKLE BEARINGS Every 12,000 miles (19,000 kilometers) or 12 months, whichever occurs first, remove plug from universal joint housing, fill to level of plug opening, and reinstall plug. Do not disassemble C.V. joints. PROPELLER SHAFT UNIVERSAL AND SLIP JOINTS Every 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) or 3 months, whichever occurs first, on universals equipped with plugs, remove filler plug at each joint and install pressure fittings; fill using low pressure gun. Remove fitting and reinstall plug. If operating conditions are severe or abnormal, service at 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers). TA 094149 PAGE 35 OF 38 LO 9-2320-211-12
NOTES (Cont d) 10. STEERING GEAR HYDRAULIC SYSTEM RESERVOIR Fill and maintain 3/4 full. Capacity is 8-1/2 quarts (8 liters). Do not fill completely. Service every 12,000 miles (19,000 kilometers) or 12 months, whichever occurs first. 11. BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER CAUTION Use only brake fluid silicone BFS (MIL-B-46176). Check level weekly. Fill to 1/2 inch (12.7 millimeters) from top of master cylinder. Use BFS (MIL-B-46176) for brake master cylinder. 12. REAR SPRING TRUNNION BEARINGS Every 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) or 6 months, whichever occurs first, loosen screws on bearing cap, and lubricate through fittings until lubricant appears around cap. Tighten capscrews. Every 6,000 miles (9,600 kilometers) or annually, whichever occurs first, remove, clean, and repack trunnion bearings. 13. HOIST DRUM Weekly, check fluid level and drain only when required by maintenance repair action, or if contaminated by water or other foreign material. Set boom in horizontal position and remove drain plug from case. Remove breather and level plug; fill drum to level of plug hole. Install plug. Clean and install breather. 14. WINCH AND CRANE HOIST CABLES After each operation, clean and oil with new. Every 6 months, if cable is not generally used, unwind entire cable. Clean and soak with new. Wipe off excess and coat cable with CW before rewinding cable an drum. 15. CRANE HYDRAULIC OIL TANK With boom in horizontal position, remove plug from top of tank; if level is below bottom mark on gage, replenish to top mark. Every 12 months, remove plug from bottom of tank and drain. To completely drain system, operate crane several times, disconnect hydraulic lines, and allow to drain. Clean and install plug, and connect hydraulic lines. Refill tank with 33 gallons (125 liters) of oil (M543, M543A1, M543A2 wrecker 70 gallons [265 liters]). Operate crane several times to completely fill system. Check level. 16. DUMP BODY HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR WARNING Rest weight of dump body on safety braces when performing maintenance with dump body in raised position. CAUTION Remove filler plug slowly to release pressure.
